Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4.3 g 2-(m-toluidino)-3-aminomethylpyridine and 12 g of urea was heated at 180° C for 2 hours and further heated at 200° C for 30 minutes. After cooling, crude reaction product precipitated was collected by filtration and washed with sufficient amounts of warm water. This product was purified by recrystallization from methanol to give 2.6 g of 1-(m-tolyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine as colorless prisms, melting at 212° - 214° C.
